I can’t express with words how much I despise election years but I will sure as hell try to. They are full of mind games and down right trickery. Obama hits the news the past few weeks with small silly things to promote his re-election. First we have the interview where he cleverly shows support for individual states to allow homosexuals to marry. A trick of course because he didn’t take any action towards making laws protecting this statement nor does it change the fact that government will still meddle in our own relationship affairs. How about this sir “liberal”, stay the fuck out of our business. State government, federal government, city government, the hell to all of you. Because what the hell does the government have to do with people falling in love and deciding to marry? So while looking pleasant and tolerant and singing Al Green well just proves one thing, he’s just another condescending asshole like the rest but he carries himself well. And now this whole immigrant thing is just another attempt to be re-elected. Instead of creating new policies against crony-capitalism (corporatism) with fear that if he does so he’ll of course be cut off from the wealth that’s promised to him for the rest of his life, he tells us that not ALL immigrant children will be deported, that is the ones he sees fit and AMERICAN enough to stay. How about this Mr. “liberal”, don’t deport children. Simple policy to say the least, don’t deport children who grew up in the States and don’t know a thing about their country of birth. Thanks for choosing who is worthy to stay though. That’s really nice of you. For all that wish to argue my points I say do so but for your sake don’t look at any of the pictures of the innocent children he’s slaughtered with his drone attacks in recent months. Those hard facts and images will make your support for the “liberal” appear weak and of poor choice. He’s just as bad or worse than Nixon and Bush, worse because he supports and enforces a KILL list of people in other countries he feels should die by American hands, oh uh I mean American drones. Drones because why should we endanger our lives? We are the corrupt world police and we can’t even disguise it anymore. Fuck you Obama as you enter the ranks of Franco and Stalin.

The good thing is that the illusion of choice is becoming less of an illusion as time goes by. But I’ll hand it to the bastards for still trying to fool the lot of us.

Here’s hoping I don’t get on a kill list or become a part of the American Dream of indefinite detention.

In attempt to switch things to cumbia I do so successfully with a chilled down new remix of Randy Salazar’s nu cumbia jam Archipielago by his mate Altz. Altz makes this the newest in a line of the growing Japanese cumbia scene.

Dudley Disco came out with a Calle 13 remix of their hit that actually never annoyed me so that’s cool and the reason why a cumbia remix of it works quite well for me too. Oh Atrevete is the hit I’m referring to.

Arun y la Cumbia is not only an awesome name but he’s also an awesome nu cumbia producer. His new one is digital goodness. He says it isn’t finished because it needs mastering but honestly I cannot tell at all. It sounds great to me.

I also released a microscopic EP if you will of a few tracks that I couldn’t fit into the new album I am working on. They all seemed to flow so I made up a theme. There are a couple cumbia tracks on it. Here is one maybe you can sink your teeth into.

Oh I couldn’t possibly write a cumbia blog without talking a bit about Ondatropica’s new project. SoundWay Records makes it possible for legends of cumbia and new talent of today to produce an all new album. It will be out June 25th on SoundWay Records.
